As soon as possible after receiving the pot with the Aqua4 ® Weeks fern plant place it in a bright place, preferably a warm place in partial shade (no direct sunlight) and best not above a central heating radiator. Water the plant immediately and fill the entire reservoir.

Keep the soil moist.

Nephrolepis exaltata enjoys a warm place out of direct sunlight that preferably does not drop below 15° C. In a cooler environment the plant will need less water.

This fern (Nephrolepsis exaltata) is a plant native to tropical forests and really does not like direct sunlight! Nephrolepsis exaltata likes to be kept humid so we recommend spraying the leaves regularly with rainwater. If the air is too dry, the edges of the leaves will dry and curl. This plant does not like too strong a fertiliser, so we recommend halving the dosage suggested on dry or liquid fertiliser packets for leafy houseplants. Water this fern every 4-6 weeks (depending on the climate indoors) in its AquaForWeeks planter.

Water less in the winter keeping the plant slightly drier. Wait until spring to resume watering and feeding.

Nephrolepis exaltata is a tropical variety, native to tropical Asia and the Amazon forests where it even grows on tree branches and rocks in humid conditions (epiphytic).

Nephrolepsis now have their own family - Nephrolepidaceae.
